Inspired-By Comparison
Every clone rated on similarity and performance. Oils and sprays are priced on separate lines, because a millilitre of oil is not a millilitre of spray.
Oil is undiluted, so a millilitre of oil holds several times more fragrance than a millilitre of spray. Each format is ranked on its own.
Each line shows one size: a 50ml spray (30ml, or the nearest size, when the vendor has no 50ml) and the oil closest to 10ml. Vendors also sell other sizes, including samples and bulk.
Prices are converted to your selected currency at recent exchange rates. Vendors bill in their own currency, so the amount you are charged may differ slightly.

Find the Original
Avon Love Pulse is the benchmark for this scent profile. Alternatives may be worth comparing, but they are independent products and we do not present them as equivalent to Avon's own fragrance.
They do not replace the original fragrance, its presentation, or the version created under the brand's own quality control. If that is what you are looking for, search the official site or trusted retailers below.

The fragrance these clones are inspired by.
Love Pulse is a fruity-floral women's fragrance from Avon released in 2013. At its core it pairs a tropical-fruity opening built on carambola (star fruit) with a pronounced apple-like quality, moving into a rose-centered heart that reads soft and slightly powdery. The base of musk and cedar gives a clean, woody-musk finish that tones down the sweetness. Main accords include rose, fruity and tropical notes with musky and woody support, so the overall feel is bright up top and mellow in the drydown. Reception is mixed (3.02/5 from 122 votes), and many wearers note its similarity to other recent Avon releases.
Our take
I find Love Pulse to be a bright, somewhat generic fruity-rose: star fruit and apple up front, thin rose, powdery musk that feels tried and familiar.
Dominant Accords
The Bottle
Avon Love Pulse’s bottle has a broad, rounded heart shape that ends in a pointed lower centre, an unusually assertive choice for fragrance packaging. The apparent pink-to-red liquid deepens toward the bottom, while a tall cylindrical metallic-gold-coloured cap and circular red label give the front a visual punch. It is distinctive and playful, though the decorative typography and strong colour contrast make the bottle busier than it needs to be.
Original or Clone
The bottle gives Love Pulse a reason to stay with the original: its broad heart shape, pink-to-red liquid and tall metallic-gold-coloured cap make it unusually recognisable. That matters here because the fragrance is associated with Rose, Fruity and Tropical accords, a character concrete enough for a single house to have attempted a reproduction. This small field is too thin for a broader verdict. We find the original worth buying for its distinctive bottle and status as the release that prompted this attempt; readers uninterested in the bottle can reasonably choose the interpretation.
